Working papers are preliminary documents circulated to stimulate discussion and obtain comments iii Preface International migration has become an important feature of globalized labour markets in health care. The impact of international migration is very complex both for health workers and for the countries involved. There has been concern about international migration in health services for some years now, but recently the situation has become more acute for a number of reasons, mostly reflected in severe staff and skill shortages in the health systems of many countries. While industrialized countries, in addressing the problem of staff shortages, become " recipient " countries and actively recruit health personnel abroad, the emigration of qualified health workers in a number of " donor " countries may undermine the functioning of their health systems. raised the migration of health workers as one major concern and requested the International Labour Office to take further action. The Sectoral Activities Department commissioned this study as a direct follow-up to the recommendations of the Joint Meeting. The study provides an overview of existing information on migration of health workers with an emphasis on related labour and social issues; it considers migration policies and practices, working conditions and the role of international standards and trade agreements. As a Sectoral Working Paper, the study is meant as a preliminary document; it is circulated to stimulate discussion and to obtain comments. We hope that it will contribute to a discussion on policies and practices for socially acceptable management of health worker migration, allowing for decent working conditions for migrant health workers as well as for health workers remaining in their countries, with the aim of ensuring the equal access to quality health services for all.
